Happy New Year Cards

Hi, everyone!  This week's Ways To Use It Challenge theme is 'Warm and Cozy'....I didn't get a chance in December to post photos of all of the Happy New Year cards mailed out, so now is a good time.  I borrowed this fun idea from Lori Helling's blog post here. My cards are not all the same since I goofed when cutting my cardstock....I had the templates backwards on some! :p  The sentiment from 'Snowy Blessings' is the same on each card (thanks to my MISTI, twenty cards were stamped in no time!!), the designer papers are all from Divinity Designs LLC: Rustic Christmas and Christmas Collection 2018. Though not very visible, the ends of the scarfs were fringed with scissors. Instead of bling, the 'buttons' were made with a small circle punch so that the cards were completely flat for mailing.

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,

Happy New Year Snowy Deer

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Tina Wardell aka harleygirl50......congrats, Tina!  I chose this beautiful card as inspiration to help me create a bundle of Happy New Year cards to mail out next week.  I began by cutting a panel with the Double Stitched Squares Dies; left the panel in the die and sponged the background over scratch paper with navy ink.  The tree and deer images from 'Deer Silhouettes' were stamped in navy, then white acrylic ink mixed with water was flicked over the scene.  Once the paint specks were dry, the panel was matted with navy and adhered to a white card base. The greeting is from the 'Celebration' set.  (All of the products used are from Divinity Designs LLC.)
